Introducing Our New Programs Coordinator
Catherine Escamilla is the new Programs Coordinator for the Tahoe-Pyramid Trail (TPT), where she brings a diverse background in public land stewardship, community engagement, and environmental planning. Before joining the TPT, she worked with the National Park Service in Southern California, contributing to a wide range of efforts including, trail maintenance, wildlife biology, historic preservation, GIS mapping, volunteer coordination, and wilderness planning and safety.
Catherine holds a Master’s degree in Environmental Management with an emphasis in Public Land Management from Western Colorado University. She discovered the TPT shortly after relocating to Reno and was immediately drawn to the organization as both a trail enthusiast and a community-minded conservationist. She volunteered for the TPT helping to survey and catalog trail signage and helped synthesize trail survey data collected by a UNR graduate studies program on behalf of the TPT. We knew right away she was a good fit for the TPT team.
